To all whom t may concern.'

Be it lmown that DANIEL B. MCCARTHY and DANIEL F. OBRIEN, citizens of the United States, and residents of Chicago, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxing-Gloves, of which the following is a specilication.

Our invention relates to improvement in boxing gloves and is designed for the ready adjustment of the padding within the glove.

In the accompanying drawing We have shown in Figure l the glove in front View and in Fig. 2 a section through the interior of the glove lengthwise of the wrist portion.

It is found desirable to have access to the interior of boxing gloves to adjust the padf ding and while this has been proposed heretofore by an opening at the back of the glove it is our object to have a concealed opening for this purpose and to this end we slit the inner lining as shown at a and rein- Copes of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the force the slit by a leather strip Z), provided with lacing holes, so that the opening is closed by a lacing c, which is readily loosened in order to get access to the interior of the glove through the opening.

We provide a pad e to cover the opening and lacing and to protect the back of the hand when the glove is in use. The pad as shown folds inward toward the front of the glove.

What we claim is:

A boxing glove having an opening to the interior from the inside of the glove for the purpose of adjusting the padding, means for closing the opening and a pad covering the opening, substantially as described.
